| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
Look out across the fields, see me returning,
Smoke is in your eye, you
draw a smile.
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning,
You've had time to
think about it for a while.
Well, I've walked two hundred miles, now look me
over,
It's the end of the chase and the moon is high.
It won't matter who loves
who,
You'll love me or I'll love you
When the night comes falling from the
sky.
I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting,
Sorrow covers you up
like a cape.
Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting
With disaster that you
managed to escape.
I can't provide for you no easy answers,
Who are you that I
should have to lie?
You'll know all about it, love,
It'll fit you like a glove
When
the night comes falling from the sky.
I can hear your trembling heart beat like a
river,
You must have been protecting someone last time I called.
I've never asked you for
nothing you couldn't deliver,
I've never asked you to set yourself up for a fall.
I
saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness,
For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched
them die.
Stick around, baby, we're not through,
Don't look for me, I'll see you
When
the night comes falling from the sky.
In your teardrops, I can see my own
reflection,
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line.
I don't want
to be a fool starving for affection,
I don't want to drown in someone else's
wine.
For all eternity I think I will remember
That icy wind that's howling in your
eye.
You will seek me and you'll find me In the wasteland of your mind
When the night
comes falling from the sky.
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter
But you were
gambling for support.
This time tomorrow I'll know you better
When my memory is not so
short.
This time I'm asking for freedom,
Freedom from a world which you
deny.
And you'll give it to me now,
I'll take it anyhow
When the night comes falling
from the sky |
